The Cup has stayed in A Coruña. Suffering until the last breath, in an edition of the KO tournament that had to be postponed for a year due to the pandemic. After a game where, as is usual in duels against the Blaugrana, you had to grit your teeth until the final honk. This time yes, those of Juan Copa were victorious and added their tenth Cup title.
The crash left a first part with Lyceum and Barça measuring themselves, knowing that the final was going to be long. Carles Grau, Dava Torres, César Carballeira, GFran Platero and Roby Di Benedetto were chosen by Juan Copa to start. Adroher, César Carballeira and Oruste had the best chances of the first half. But in a match like this, and more so in this Lyceum, the goalkeeper claims his starring role. Carles Grau, who completed a tournament to frame, took it upon himself to derail a clear Panadero chance.
The second half was played to another march. Pau Bargalló had a direct free kick to put the Blaugrana ahead, but his shot went wide. and there began the exchange of blows, with a spectacular Jordi Adroher. The high school student opened the account, extended two minutes later by César Carballeira after materializing a penalty. The 2-0 triggered the illusion, but when the rival is the almighty Barcelona, it is already known that there will be a simple victory … and much less in a final. The blaugrana climbed the lines and closed in on the A Coruña goal. Then came the 2-1 of Matías Pascual. In 42 it was a Coruña enlisted in the Blaugrana team, Alabart, who placed the tie on the scoreboard. Nothing was worth it anymore, everything began again with the accumulated wear and tear of a battle that was proving epic. And there the stopped ball of Jordi Adroher arose again to score a 3-2 that would be definitive. FC Barcelona tried, pressed, placed 5 court players and left the goal empty to besiege the Herculine goal … but nothing was worth it.
The Liceo resisted in the trench. After having accumulated controversial decisions, unfortunate plays, twists of fate … throughout so many and so many duels with Barça, this time the Liceo won. At home, with his people, with his audience and with an entire city pending to recover the memories of those times when rivals were knocked out by system in the Riazor Sports Palace. Because the Liceo has always been there, fighting against giants and showing that the effort ends up paying off.
